It is not just Disney, vacations in general for a family are very expensive but a lot of people are doing them. Granted some of thwm prolly have the money but I bet most don’t but they do it.
I don’t understand why people obsess over vacations so much. Such a weird “consumer” behaviour

Maybe in this case where the “vacation” is just going to Disney and buying Disney themed stuff, but do you really not get the idea of a vacation in general?
I feel like (based on my experiences and talking to other people) is vacations are more for new experiences, new food, new cultures, new people. Not just “consumer behaviors”.

This. I haven’t gone to multiple countries in latin america for weeks to just buy shit. The food in lima is some of the best i’ve ever had, just don’t go alone for safety :P
Pretending that visiting tourist traps in Prague or Paris or Rome is experiencing “other cultures” is a delulu mind set aka blind consumerism at its finest.
Same guy prolly think he is a “liberal” and he is fighting climate change ge while at it 🤡
Money talks and idiots end at the same tired places eat the same over priced trash, staying at the same over priced spots, seeing the same shit with locals being “servants”
I like vacations that are a mix of your two descriptions: Go somewhere new, but with zero itinerary. I have the most fun that way, just organically figuring out stuff to do. Of course, still do some research ahead of time.

My position is that tourism is cancer especially the modern version where you have idiots going to tourism traps to experience
Which is literally just “consumer behaviors”
Most historic urban cores are fucking gutten from obnoxious behaviour and these places unlivable and devoid of any culture beyond architectural style.
Alternative are cruises and resorts… Which are prolly less damaging to the cities… But what fucking culture is there
I don’t think that wanting to experience other cultures is a consumerist behavior.

Who besides you said anything about tourist traps?
Tourism money flows
OK buddy.

Because it’s like a way to pay to maximize your time off
Staycations are way more relaxing, but are generally forgettable - a week can go by before you know it when you’re just at home
A week in a different place where you cram in as many activities and experiences in as possible creates far more memories, so it feels longer
It’s like retail therapy - a way to soothe that voice in the back of your head asking “is it really worth it to sell my life away like this?”
